Ref the debate about packs of feral dogs after TSHTF

[NorthernRaider]

Having dogs around you would also be a deterrent to roaming packs, dogs are like any other creature, they will want the soft targets where possible, a group of people with a few dogs would keep wild packs at bay, I will go to great lengths to look after my Shepherds, they will be worth their weight in gold

Unless of course one of your doggies was a bitch in heat !!
